Tornado Tornado Recovery A Story of Resilience and Compassion

Today

The City’s Neighborhood Development Department’s Code Compliance Division continues its work to improve the area’s appearance through Minimum Housing Code enforcement actions such as demolishing deteriorated properties. And SRA continues to repair owner-occupied homes damaged by the tornado. Neighborhood Development’s “Tornado Disaster Recovery Program” has issued an ongoing Request for Proposals for nonprofit organizations involved in constructing or rehabilitating quality, affordable housing. Qualified contractors will repair or reconstruct storm-damaged property and build new homes in the tornado-impacted neighborhoods. SRA is also reaching out to families who were rehoused after the tornado to offer them homeownership counseling under the City’s Housing Connect GSO program and the option of buying one of the repaired or newly constructed homes.
